Someone who disapproves of homosexuality because they are disgusted by the act of two people of the same gender having sexual relations but claim that the reason of their disapproval is because it says something in the Bible.

Golly, this is something that I really hate. It is a flaw in society, to judge others for their love life, their taste, and their lifestyles. Homophobia is a fear of homosexuals (homo--man; phobia--fear) and some may not except gays and lesbians because they never met any, they think it's disgusting, or usually, they are bible thumpers. Most of the time, I think people that are homophobic are close-minded and can't accept others for being different. I'm heterosexual, I don't see anything wrong with homosexuals, but some homophobs tend to be scared of them obviously and literally.

Common term for an explicitly anti-homosexual person. Oftentimes, a self-loathing person confused and frustrated with his latent homosexuality who needs constant reassurance that he's straight. Too dumb to realize that being gay doesn't mean having to be a promiscuous clone of Bobby Trendy who makes annual summer pilgrimages to Fire Island. In these cases, said individual will continue to gay-bash until the second before he comes out of the closet.
